Hey There
Hey there! Welcome to my Healing Haven, a space to some and learn about all things healing. My name is Jen Weir and I run this platform. Much of what I share is essential oil and oil infused supplements related. You'll notice that each is laced with a bent on how to care for our emotions. It's an honor to know you've stopped in.
But wait, there's more.
If you sit with me for five minutes, you'll quickly realize I don't mess around, I don't BS you and I most certainly do not pull any punches. I'm a tell it like it is & play it as it's thrown kinda girl. This website/blog was started all because I wanted to share with the world the how tos of using essential oils. I started using essential oils for the family's wellness back in 2010 when my oldest son was diagnoses with malignant melanoma. My boy was nine and frankly that is extremely rare for a child to have such an aggressive cancer.
​
We had the best of the best in terms of specialists and so you might imagine my horror when I sat down with the doctor and asked about nutrition, ways we could beat the cancer wit foods and supplements, and he straight looked at me and said "fruits and veggies can't hurt!".
Wow.
​
That's it? A decade of schooling and all you got for me is "fruits and veggies won't hurt?"
I went home and did a little researching on the web, (back when you could find cures for cancer on the internet) and found that low and behold, there were resources pointing us to nutritional helps to beat back malignant melanoma.
Long story short, my kid didn't need chemo therapy on account of I prayed fervently for him, radically changed our diet, started using essential oils and cleaned out every toxin that was lurking in our cabinets. After two years of week long long then turning into bi weekly check ups, he was cleared and we never went back.
You can imagine the trauma that set in on all of us, especially the one who had the cancer, after such an experience. This was all followed by giving birth to a baby with a severe birth defect called Omphalicile. Don't look it up, it'll gross you out. The nutshell is her liver was out of her body when she was born and we invested 31 days into the NICU putting all that nonsense back.
​
​
Again, we all had some residual trauma and strong emotions from both of those seasons.
Within a couple of years I turned into a crazed rage monster and was totally out of control emotionally speaking. Not that anyone would know because I saved my crazy for my family, how fortuitous for them.
In 2015, a few friends introduced me to the wonderful world of dealing with emotions and essential oils. Mind you, there was no class or guide, simply a shoving a bottle of an oil called Trauma Life in my hand and saying "use until gone". Incidentally, this event comes to mind when someone frantically asks me "how do I even use this oil??".
Use it til it's gone. Solid advice.
I took it, and quell supriÅ›! I began to feel different, in a much better sort of way.
Listen, when you have an experience like that after feeling like I had felt for so long, you begin to dig into this wonder in bottles called essential oils and ask a few questions.
​
After researching for a couple of years on the how, why and what in the world does this mean, I was ready to teach this to the masses. I mean, geez, this world is/was/seems to still be spiraling into an emotional bender and here I was having the answer!
As the years went on, even in a "basic" essential oil class I couldn't help but share the cool emotional benefits that resided with each and every oil.
​
And finally, the most recent in emotional crisis is the death of my husband. Being a widow at age 48 was never in the plans, right? My children losing their dad at a young age was not their hope and dream, yet here we are. And can I tell you something? If we had not dealt with our emotional baggage long before his passing, I'd surely be a nut case and my kids might be raging addicts of some sort. The point is- doing pre-work on our emotional health has enabled us to manage my husband's death with a tiny bit more grace than I imagine we would have previously.
​
Which brings me to this platform. It is meant to share using essential oils and a few oil infused supplements. Yet what you'll find laced through every blog post is a word or two peppered in regarding using these drops of gold for your emotional well being. I pray you take note of everything written here, and shift your emotions into a better state.
Find a bit of refuge here, find your tools needed to cleanse out your path behind and some for the journey ahead of you. We only get one life, if you do it right, that's all you need.
All the best,
Jen
